false 624450 1 <P>In 1935, well into the era of communism, Russian satirical writers Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov came to the U.S posing as special correspondents for the Russian newspaper Pravda. They drove cross-country and back on a ten-week trip, recording images of American life through the lens of a Leica camera and humorous impressions of Americana in their notebooks.

This wonderful lost work&#8212;filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs&#8212;is now collected in Ilf and Petrov&#8217;s American Road Trip, the first English publication. </P> 610811 31 8 2006 Ilf and Petrov's American Road Trip: The 1935 Travelogue of Two Soviet Writers total:34|5:13|4:16|3:4|2:1|1:0| 34 143 55 6 3 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 18:57:02 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 18:19:22 -0800 2008 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 09:48:56 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 21:01:40 -0700 2008 5 2 false false Sat Jan 17 10:17:55 -0800 2009 Tue May 05 02:45:25 -0700 2009
